Pokemon: The First Movie back in 1998.

For people who don’t get it: Duck Hunt was the most popular game that used the NES zapper. The way it worked was when the trigger was pulled, the screen went black for a split second except for a square of white. The zapper read the screen to see if it was aiming at the square and that determined if you hit your target. It only worked on CRT TV screens.

Honest people played as intended - standing at a distance, using the zapper like you would a gun.

Dishonest people would hold the zapper right up to the TV.

Chaotic people would just point the zapper at something producing white light (like a lamp) and fire away, technically never missing.

At least for me, turning 30 felt liberating in a sense. You’re not really described as young anymore, and expectations of you are different.

I still care about social issues but I don’t feel pressured to be militant about them, and even if someone tried to exert that pressure I wouldn’t care. I can just say I’m tired if I don’t wanna do something and that’s considered a valid reason.

Dating? So much less pressure. I know who I am and what I want, as do others in their 30s. You figure out if you’re a good match pretty quickly.

Sure, it takes longer to bounce back from injuries, hangovers, etc and the simple act of getting up makes more snaps, crackles, and pops than a bowl of Rice Krispies. But overall it feels like I can live my life the way I want to and nobody cares. And that is a good feeling.

Yeah, but then he said “I feel happy!” and he lost me.

If this was in 2002, there were also only 251 or 386 Pokemon depending on when in the year it was done (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire released in November 2002)

Clearly they must have been on to something. Let’s just ask them what they did right, clearly they must still be around if they know what they’re doing— oh.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Good night sweet prince.

Wouldn’t it be an interesting theory if the planet was doing this to heal itself? One of the largest contributors to climate change is the massive amount of emissions for meat production. If people are suddenly allergic to meat, production slows. Production slows, fewer emissions. Fewer emissions, things stop getting worse (or do so at a slower rate).

If it runs through a Bluetooth mesh network, wouldn’t that mean you would need a substantial userbase for this to be viable whatsoever unless you are physically near the people you want to message?

Well, the baking will be. Everything else is covered in butter and/or white sauce, and black pepper is considered spicy.

I’ve got a good Draiman story. Disturbed played in my city in 2009. It was an all day music festival. I was on my feet all day which aggravated my old knee injury. Disturbed were the last or second to last band to play at night, so by the time they came on I was in so much pain. I went and sat down in the closest section to me.

The band comes out and plays their set. A bit of the way through Draiman does some crowd interaction. He calls for everyone to stand up. Everyone does, except for my section. He pointed at us and went “what is this, the fucking pussy section?” I looked around… it was the disabled section.

So anyway, that’s the story of how I got called a pussy by Draiman.

Keep dreaming.

If that was the case, anyone with ADHD would be an idiot.

Commenting to check again later. I’m curious too.

Do you mean Hypno that had a coin on a string?
